White smoke?

I have a 22R engine in my 81 Celica GT and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why white smoke comes out the exhaust when I warm it up in the mornings. It doesn't seem to do it once it's warmed up, nor does it do it when it revs high- Usually just when it's warming up and a little while after that. Ideas?

P.S.- I noticed on my last spark plug change that there is oil on the threads of my plugs, but they are still the normal grey-white color for the most part. There was a little brown on the porcelin part, but they looked pretty good besides that. (i'd had them in for only 2 or 3 thousand miles) Is some oil supposed to be there? If not, what are the probably causes? (list all, please)

Thanks!
